A 19 year old Wheaton
Illinois man, Emanuel Lopez, has
been sentenced to 60 pays in jail and 30 months of probation for the theft of a
$1500 Pomeranian puppy from a pet store. The dog was returned to the store
after 3 days, but while the dog remained with Lopez, he blew marijuana smoke
into its face until it passed out unconscious.

DuPage County Judge John Kinsella said during sentencing
that, "Only the bottom rung of humanity abuses animals for their
amusement." He called the abuse an aggravating factor in the theft.
